Summary
When playing slow passages, a 55-year-old professional accordionist noticed painless cramping of the right finger flexors. Treatment with botulinum toxin for suspected dystonia had no effect. In the following months, cramps also occurred at rest, and he had to give up his profession. He also noted twitches in the limb muscles.
